Posted by Join host Daniel Balsam for another of his culinary finds at the Lula Cafe in Logan Square. Lula Cafe has been featured on NPR’s “This American Life,” in The New York Times, Food and Wine, Bon Appetit, and in Chicago press where Lula has been named an LTH Forum Great Neighborhood Restaurant, a Michelin Bib Gourmande, Jean Banchet Best Neighborhood Restaurant, and a proud member of the “Eater Essential 38.” Daniel has arranged a very special evening where chef/owner Jason Hammel is crafting a custom menu for our dining club!
